Stop Building Workflows. Use One That Already Works.
AirOps is a powerful workflow-building platform with non-transparent pricing that gives technical teams full control over their content pipeline. It is best for organizations with dedicated engineering or operations resources who want to design, debug, and maintain their own AI content workflow from scratch. BlogSEO takes the opposite approach: a one-click, two-minute setup that ships a research-to-publish content workflow built and tuned for you, with results from day one and room for customization on top.
AirOps is closer in spirit to an MLOps or low-code automation platform than to a finished SEO product. You get full control over every step, but you also carry full responsibility for the outcome. Building a workflow that actually ranks requires you to know what the right steps are, how to chain them, and how to measure them. BlogSEO's workflow is backed by data, industry experts, and years of research on what actually moves rankings. It works for you, instead of asking you to work for it.
Which One Should You Use?
If you run a multi-person engineering or ops team that can dedicate 20+ hours a week to designing, testing, and maintaining a custom content workflow, AirOps is the more flexible option, with the caveat that it is meaningfully more expensive and requires technical operators to extract value. BlogSEO is the better fit if you want AI SEO automation that delivers results immediately for smaller teams that cannot afford to spend hours every week building, debugging, and maintaining their own pipeline. It is a tool, and an agent, that works for you out of the box, while still leaving room to customize when you want to.

Need a lighter BlogSEO plan?
For teams that want a slower cadence than 30 articles a month, we also offer a lower-tier BlogSEO plan. It is not advertised on our pricing page, so reach out to our team if it sounds like a better fit.
This downsell is not advertised publicly. Message our team to access it.
If 30 articles/month is more than you need, we offer a lighter plan for smaller teams and earlier-stage sites. You keep the rest of the BlogSEO stack at half the article cadence.
- 15 SEO articles per month (vs. 30 on the $97 base plan)
- Same backlink credits as the base plan
- Same CMS auto-publishing, internal linking, and analytics
- Designed for teams that want one article every other day
